CHRISTMAS DINNER 🎄: GRILLED CRAYFISH WITH LINGUINE 🦞🍝// grilled WA crayfish with truffle butter, garlic, spring onions, chives, paprika, black pepper and salt (15 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius). Served with La Molisana linguine tossed with MaePranom brand Thai chilli paste, Marmite, butter, shaved cheese, bit of pasta water. Topped with shaved cheese and chopped spring onions. 15 minutes in the oven and 10 min resting time is just perfect to attain the crayfish flesh’s “just-cooked” texture. #PFRCooks #HomeCooking #ChristmasDinner #StayHome #Crayfish #Pasta #Linguine #WACrayfish #LaMolisana #LobsterPasta #TruffleButter #MaePranom #ThaiChilliPaste #Marmite #PerthFoodReview #PerthHomeCook #PFR_Lobsters (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX-59ijvMjW/?utm_medium=tumblr

HOME COOKING // Poached-then-Roasted Balinese Coconut Turmeric Chicken Maryland with sambal, cabbage and rice using Marion’s Kitchen marinade and Turban Chopsticks’ sambal sauce (gifted). Poached two Chicken Maryland (ten minutes on one side and five on the other side). Removed and let cool. Marinate the chicken skin with ground coriander seed. Lather Marion’s Kitchen Bali coconut turmeric marinade on the Chicken Maryland then roast the chicken in a pre-heated 180 degree oven for an hour. In the meantime, pan-fry 3 tablespoons of Turban Chopsticks’ sambal with 1/2 onion, ten dried chillis and one diced tomato - reduce and simmer this sauce for a more spicy flavour. Cooking process on the cooking highlights. Tip: use a meat thermometer to check if the chicken is cooked in the middle. No need to add salt as this Marion’s Kitchen marinade is already quite salty. Love the convenience of using the Turban Chopsticks’ sambal (thanks Mei!). 😃 P.S I had actually wanted to make Ayam Penyet (Indonesian poached then fried chicken) but a healthier version without that much oil so roasted the chicken instead. Also did not have ground turmeric so went with the turmeric marinade that was sitting in the pantry. Cooking improvisations along the way. 🙈 #gifted #homecooking #PFRcooks #turbanchopsticks #marionskitchen #balinesechicken #turmeric #sambal #marinade #cabbage #perthfoodreview (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEB1K9zDXKq/?igshid=3rtshjjxnv9

HOME COOKING // SW’s take on Taiwanese style Beef Brisket horfun soup. Intended to make Taiwanese style beef broth. Added light & dark soy sauce, cinnamon quill, bay leaves, star anise, dried chillies, dried mandarin peel, carrots, tomatoes, onions, soy bean paste sauce to beef bone broth. Should have added Chinese white radish too. You know how sometimes your cooking turn out to be something quite different to what you had envisioned? This was one of those dishes. So much so that I feel bad for even calling it Taiwanese. 🙈 If I did this again, I most definitely would *not* add thick soy bean paste. Luckily this was edible. The broth was spicy and flavoursome. It was also much thicker than normal Taiwanese beef noodle soups - consistency was more like a stew. #homecooking #pfrcooks #kitchenexperiment #beef #beefnoodlesoup #beefbrisket #taiwanesebeefnoodlesoup #horfun #noodles #beefbroth #perthfoodreview (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJCBSIjwBo/?igshid=1io41x66ws2e3

HOME COOKING // Comfort food: tomato and egg stir-fry with Hor Fun (rice noodles). Often touted as the national dish of China, “Stir-fried tomato and scrambled eggs” is a simple, classic, common dish that’s hearty and goes so well with rice or noodles. Not to over-generalise but this dish is the most basic cooking the majority of Chinese would know - equivalent to cooking two minute noodles. Often, the first question when someone asks your cooking repertoire in China: it would begin with “Can you cook stir-fry Tomato and eggs?” 😂 I love eating this dish whenever visiting China but it’s not as simple as it looks to truly master the dish. The scrambled eggs should be very fluffy and soft when cooked properly. Personally I still don’t think I’ve mastered the dish.

HOME COOKING // Roast Duck with potatoes, sweet potatoes, eggplant and curry leaves, with improvisation on @thespruceeats ‘s recipe. The duck breast was perfectly tender with one hour’s roasting time and then 20 minutes of resting.

HOME COOKING // Roast pork with curry leaves - need to score the skin much more for even crackle or try out another recipe that uses salt to encrust the scored skin to bake first, remove the salt crust then roast the pork again. What are your tips with roast pork? 😃 Knife-cutting credits: Dad #roastpork porkcrackle #homecooking #pfrvideo #pfrcooks #perthfoodreview https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7ELMYjP9b/?igshid=1hm5rii8r3vcb

Happy Chinese New Year’s Eve!! 除夕夜快乐！Early celebration dinner spread at SW’s. Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year ahead filled with good food and joy. ☺️ On the table: Steamed Shark Bay scallops with vermicelli, garlic sesame oil, soy, Shaoxing wine and fried garlic; Steamed Honeycomb Cod Teochew Style; Crayfish E-fu Noodles and Stir-fried iceberg lettuce with oyster sauce. Purchased the seafood from Seafresh Claremont and it is really fresh. They sell live crayfish and will section it for you. The flesh is much sweeter when you purchase raw crayfish to cook at home (rather than buying cooked ones). The crayfish I got was $57 (selling at $89.99/kg). First time trying Honeycomb Cod and the texture of the fish was fine and soft.
